Affordable Nursery Decorating Ideas and Inspiration, Great Finds For Baby and Mom, DIY Projects, and Parties
Spoonflower, one of our favorite places to shop for unique, quality fabrics online, recently hosted a contest asking designers to create fabrics with both lions and lambs — signature animals of March— and the submissions were gorgeous.
Check out the top ten designs on the Spoonflower contest page. We can visualize pretty much all of these fabrics in a nursery or kids room — on accent pillows, as window treatments, or even crib bedding.
It may not feel like Spring just yet but before you know it the trees will be filled with leaves and flowers will be blooming. And the truth is I can’t wait! Not only because of the weather and beautiful flowers, but also because this means I get to enjoy brunch once more. It’s not as fun in frigid temperatures, don’t you agree?
Inspired by the upcoming season (and Easter!) I created my Ultimate Easter/Sunday Brunch Table Setting – it’s chic and cheap, just the way we like.
You might have heard all the buzz recently about the new $3000 Aston Martin stroller that hit the market. Sure, it’s got style and flare. But even if I had the money, I just don’t think I could bring myself to spend a small fortune on a stroller.
The 4Moms Origami Stroller ($849) on the other hand, is worth every penny in my book. It has everything a mom could ask for in a stroller. Literally. EVERYTHING.
POWER-FOLDING: Opens and closes itself at the touch of a button.
SELF-CHARGING: Generators in its rear wheels charge the Origami while you walk and can even charge your cell phone.
LCD DASHBOARD: Includes thermometer, speedometer, trip and lifetime odometers.
CELL PHONE CHARGER: Use the Origami to charge your cell phone while you walk with this optional accessory.
LOTS OF STORAGE: Strollers need to work in the real world, not just in the store. That means cup holders, storage pockets and a big removable storage bag.
Just watch the video below and you’ll see what I mean. But we warned, you’re going to want to run out and buy it this instant.
Minted recently launched their New Birth Announcement Collection, including some pretty cool new products – birth announcement magnets. Say what?! That’s awesome!
Each birth announcement magnet is made with thick, luxe paper with a matte finish and magnetized back. They’re so gorgeous that your friends and family will want to keep these up on their refrigerators all year long!
We’re always looking for new and upcoming Etsy shops to feature on our site — and we are super psyched to introduce you to our new favorite find, Kindertype.
Fresh designs and products with a retro look, featuring beautiful typography, modern graphics and fresh colors are what define Kindertype style.
Owner and designer, Rachel Swanson, has a degree in biology but a passion for design — and just like most of us moms who run our own businesses, it all began with the birth of her child. What started as the desire to create the perfect birth announcement for her daughter turned into a thriving Etsy shop, Kindertype.
Take a look at this shop’s selection of nursery prints, custom birth announcements and unique designs ($18-$48 depending on print and size) at kindertype.etsy.com.
